Low lying placenta

Was told I have a low lying placenta at my 20w scan(5mm from cervix) and when I asked them if it was ok to fly the next week (3h flight) they were a bit vague so now I am confused. Has anyone been flying with a very low lying placenta?

I had a low lying placenta on my 20 week scan too, flew at 25 weeks and then flew home at 27 weeks with no issues by time of my rescan at 28 weeks my placenta was no longer low lying xx

I believe you’ll be classed as high risk now, unless it moves out the way. I think it’ll be a doctors decision

I think if youve had bleeding then they recommend against flying with low lying placenta. If youve had no bleeding you should be okay. Technically they don’t like to say so bc if you do then get bleeding it’s on them. But if it were me I’d go xx

I have a low placenta and currently 30 weeks on holiday(4.5hour flight), they didn’t mention anything about being high risk but want to rescan at 32 weeks (booked next week).
As long as you aren’t high risk (your midwife will tell you) take all the safety precautions like compression socks, keep hydrates, walk and stand whenever you can on the plane.
I paid for a fit to fly consult online.

Anyone else nervous to start buying things??

We had our private gender scan last week at 15w+4 at window to the womb and found out we are having a little girl! 🌸 after 2 early losses previously, I can’t help but feel nervous to buy things for her. My family are so excited and have already bought a few things. I keep saying let’s get to 20 week scan then we can buy things properly. Has anyone else started to buy things yet??

I was 35 weeks last friday when i had a growth scan (i also have gestational diabetes) but it says estimated gestational age is 33 weeks with the measurements. It also says suspected placental insufficiency. But at the appt the doctor spent 2 mins with me and said everything is fine?? Anyone else had this and things were ok?? I’m now freaking out

Rest

Hi ladies,
How are we getting rest to reset the nervous system when you are alone with a toddler?

My husband is out from 8-530 and I am exhausted..
